trade ban on kaiser after war new entente conference will be demanded to revise paris program of continuing com mercial conflict m peace time project as now framed includes draining america of gold sur plus peril of another world combat m ten years is seen washington may 25 the measures adopted by the entente allies at their paris economic conference are to be com pletely revised partly m deference to the wishes of the united states but chiefly because those measures are impracticable according to an official intimation to-day the measures relating to commer cial industrial agricultural and mar itime reconstruction are opposed by france the provisional russian gov ernment and by the united states it was declared the modifications will be of benefit to the central ' empires after the war but their real object is to make the facilities and resources of ger many and austria-hungary of use to the entente countries m their work of reconstruction american | opposition to the measures is said to be based on hostility m this coun try to the british plan of war after the war entente in agreement to restrict foes trade the paris conference resolved the allies declare themselves agreed to conserve for the allied countries before all others their natural resources during the whole period of commercial industrial agricultural and maritime construc tion and for this purpose they undertake to establish special ar rangements to facilitate the inter change of these resources the conference went further and decided in order to defend their com merce and industry and their agri culture and navigation against eco nomic aggression resulting from dumping or any other mode of un fair competition the allies decided to fix by agreement a period of time during which commerce with the enemy powers will be submit ted to special treatment and goods originating from their oountries will be subjected to a special re ifime of an effective character it is held by officials here that the united states could not possibly be come a party of such an arrange ment drain u s of surplus gold part of program one object of the paris economic conference was to lay plans for the recovery of a large part of the gold which has been flowing into the united states from europe since the war began and therefore this object was against the interests of america consequently it was said the united states would be sacrificing its own permanent interest to favor an eco nomic policy which was aimed at it as much as at the central powers it is the belief here that such a program as has been decided upon by the allies if carried out would result m another european war with in ten years after the restoration of peace at the same time it is rec ognized here that measures

admitted by the navy de partment to-day secretary daniels announced that word of the sailing of an american destroyer flotilla for europe had been sent ahead to ger many and that german submarines had

destroyers promptly swung around to give battle to the enemy but the u-boats submerged information involving even the des tination of the destroyer fleet could have come from only two sources â€” the navy department or the fleet that the german espionage system could have extended its tentacles into the very heart of the naval es tablishment has been a shock to of ficials the following statement was is sued , kour days before the arrival of the american destroyer fleet abroad berlin knew that the vessels were on the way and to what port they were going according to advices to-day from admiral

country from which the message ] could have been sent â€” sayville and j i tuckerton may have gone via mexico it is quite impossible m the view of officials that the message could have gone over either the british or | french cables the only other con i struction being open that it went first to mexico or south america and then was relayed by wireless as soon as the first report was re j eeived from admiral sims an investi g ation was instituted up to date not a clew has been i discovered it is evident that the spy must be m a position to get information not only about the navy but
